Kind of a hidden gem in the middle of the Berkshires. Interestingly enough, there are at least 3 different Asian antique stores/galleries all within a 5 minute drive of this place, so it must be a thing in these parts. This has to be one of the coolest ones though, they had a Wakizashi (smaller Katana) from the Edo period and some pretty awesome Samurai armor! I purchased a mid-century chef's knife and managed to get a small discount. Thanks for keeping Japanese and Asian culture alive!
